Camden 45 – Lincoln 25The Eagles were unable to get their offensive game going against the Windjammers Tuesday night on the road. “They jumped right out on us with a press,” coach Conrad Lewis said of Camden’s 13-3 start. The Jammers went on to lead 22-7 at the half, and 29-17 at the end of three, before putting the game away with a 15-8 run in the final period.

Lincoln 33 – MCI 19The Lady Eagles picked up their fourth win of the season at home against MCI on Dec. 7. Lincoln Academy jumped out to a 12-2 1st quarter lead, scoring the first nine points of the game, including six straight foul shots from Laura Soohey and Anna Budrow, and a three-pointer from Katherine Bolster. Marni Jones added three as well in the quick start.

The Eagles led 16-9 at the half and 27-11 at the end of three. The Eagles scored 11 straight points in the 3rd quarter, with the Huskies finally breaking through Lincoln’s defense for their only basket of the period with three seconds to play.

Scoring for MCI were Meghan Hughes 7, Sarah Bennett 5, Picabo Morrell 4, and Kylee Alton 3.Waterville 56 – Lincoln 46Lincoln Academy girls’ basketball team had a seven-point lead with 47 seconds to go in the 3rd quarter and went into a stall. “We said ‘last shot, last shot,’ but we had a girl who just decided she was going to shoot,” coach Conrad Lewis commented.

Waterville got the rebound, and eventually stuck a three-pointer with one second left to cut the lead to four. “Instead of going into the 4th with a seven-point lead and the momentum, we went in with a four-point lead and no momentum,” Lewis said.

Waterville built on that momentum to outscore Lincoln 21-7 in the final frame to pull out a 10-point win. Jennifer Nale was a big part of the comeback bid, scoring 10 of her game high 26 points in the 4th quarter. The Panthers hit 10 three-pointers in the win and only six two-pointers. “The kids did really well taking away their inside game. They just hit outside,” Lewis said.

Waterville led 16-10 at the quarter, 25-21 at the half and Lincoln led 39-35 at the end of three.

Scoring for Lincoln were Anna Budrow 12, Marni Jones 12, Laura Soohey 11, Katherine Bolster 8, and Stephanie Oliver 3. Scoring for Waterville were Nale 26 (5-3s), Taylor Frame 15 (3-3s), Cara Russeua 6, Ashley Gagnon 4, Emily Karter 3, and Sylvia Reynolds 2.
